RESUMO
Magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography is a sensitive examination technique. In this institute the majority of MR arthrography examinations are carried out on the shoulder (57â¯%), followed by hand (24â¯%) and hip joints (16â¯%). The use of MR arthrography is superior to native MR imaging (MRI) particularly for detection of partial thickness tendon tears of the shoulder joint. Nevertheless, this technique is invasive, time-consuming and may be uncomfortable for patients. This article summarizes the indications, risks and contraindications of MR arthrography, highlights the puncture technique and illustrates possible pitfalls.
